An IBJJF World Jiu-Jitsu Champion (gi and no-gi), CBJJ Brazilian Champion, UAEJJF World Pro Champion, and European Open medallist before transitioning to MMA, [8] Burns is an ADCC Submission Fighting World Championship medallist and currently competes in the Welterweight division for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

He is the older brother of fellow UFC fighter Herbert Burns. [11]

Background

When Burns was young, his father offered to fix a customer's car in exchange for three months of jiu-jitsu lessons for all of his boys. [12] Burns started training at Academia Associação Oriente, an affiliate of Nova União led by Welton Ribeiro.

He was given the nickname 'Durinho' after his older brother was called 'Todo-Duro' which roughly translates as a tough guy, and the suffix -inho was added for Burns to indicate the diminutive, or a little tough guy. [13]

He trained with Nova União until the 2007 World Championship, where he came in second place. [8]

In 2009, Burns became recognized when he won the silver medal at the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship. [8]
